"My kids used to think I was a halfway decent parent. Sure, I might spend too much time on the internet. But I was doing okay until you two came along with your delightful Australian accents and seemingly endless stores of free time and patience.

Must read, new publication by @ajdefreese! Considering age at implantation, duration of deafness, & daily CI use, only daily processor use was a significant predictor of outcomes in a sample of 614 CI recipients. Consistency of processor use is HUGE! https://t.co/YJnL7S9R3a

A family that fled Ukraine last year found more than a safe refuge in the US. @tmcrackan @MedUnivSC provided a 2-year old child w/ a #cochlearimplant and saw a positive outcome upon activation. Thank you @CBSNews for this sensitively presented story.

“We continued to search for other doctors, and at MUSC, Dr. Noxon and Dr. McRackan confirmed what I saw – that she reacted to sounds on her right.” See how MUSC helped this Ukrainian family after a long journey to South Carolina.
